Success can sometimes look like a paradox when working in Quality. If everything runs smoothly, it’s because you’ve done your job. Yet, the smoother things go, the less visible your contributions become. This creates a challenge: how can you make your impact seen without compromising the very essence of QA—preventing problems before they arise?
Here’s the truth: visibility is not self-promotion; it’s leadership in action. Leaders are those who ensure their work—and the work of their teams—is recognized, understood, and appreciated. It’s not about seeking attention but about owning your responsibility to showcase the value you bring.
True QA leadership requires reframing how you communicate your efforts:
Don’t just say, “I fixed this bug.” Say, “I prevented this issue from affecting 1,000 users.”
Don’t just present test coverage metrics. Explain what those metrics mean for quality, timelines, and customer satisfaction.
Leadership is about solving problems, getting things done, and bringing clarity in chaotic situations. It’s about taking care of people—making their contributions visible, unblocking their tasks, and aligning efforts to business objectives. Leadership involves making tough calls, working effectively with multiple stakeholders, leading from the front, and creating a safe environment where everyone can thrive. By doing so, you’re not just elevating your role—you’re positioning QA as a strategic partner within the organization.
The path to leadership starts here. It’s about taking responsibility for how you communicate your contributions, how you serve your team, and how you create an environment where quality is both understood and celebrated.
